    Mounting ARB awning to Yakima bars

    Pricey, yes, but not for what it is really. Cut & machined & powder coated peace of mind. Kinda like the "right tool for the job makes ALL the difference", sorta thing. Awning from $171-$650 SECURELY mounted, is worth the price IMHO.

    I hate sleeping bags! Bed rolls?

    My vote goes to these, straps included, in your flavor of warmth level & size. Good advise in all above posts. But I am confused as well. If you feel confined, get the biggest size---Boom, problem solved...

    How is everyone powering their portable fridges?

    ARB plug is this: http://store.arbusa.com/ARB-FRIDGE-FREEZER-DC-CORD-POWER-PLUG-10910076-P22816.aspx , and as you can see from the pic, the 12v plug unscrews, the part that is underneath plugs into & threads into this...

    How is everyone powering their portable fridges?

    We just averted disaster with our set up ! I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH---RESIST THE URGE TO USE ANY 12V PLUG EXCEPT ARB. I made up our own wiring harness on short notice...wife decided at the last minute that she wanted to bring the 50qt ARB fridge on our trip. 2 days before trip. So, I used 10...

    What to do with pelican type cases that have a ton of holes in them?

    What ? Couple hours & unknown $$$ ? No. Tape and caulk is all you need. $5 or less if you catch the caulk on sale. Your time should be 30 min or way less for each side. Easy Peasy. LOL I bought a Weather Guard truck bed toolbox & mounted "block heads" for the forks on our Mountain bikes. After...

    Vanilla Gorilla: 2017 Power Wagon build

    Super nice truck. You guys are killing me, making me think about trading in my 08 PW w/G56. The G56 & 4.56 gears is what makes me NOT want to trade it in. Geared like a tractor. HUGE difference over the 545RFE & 4.10's i had in our 04' 2500 Dodge. Did your truck have the dual alternator option ?

    ARB fridge monitor question.....

    Yeah, that's what I thought until I tried to actually buy one. One ARB distributor said I had to purchase another entire monitor kit. Another said it will not monitor 2 fridges on 1 head unit. Even though their website says it will. So, it seems the left hand does not know what the right hand...

    M1101 - Feespirit Recreation Tent/Awning - Motorcycle Hauler

    Cool stuff. Nothing better than a Power Wagon pulling an M1101/02. I hope to get an 1102 behind our Power Wagon someday.

    Colonal's +Adventure Prescription+ | A Toyota 4Runner 5th Gen Story

    Quick question: Is that JUST a distribution center, or can you also buy stuff there ? Curious because we are leaving NY in 2 days for Fla. & was gonna stop there.....but I would like to buy some ARB fridge accessories. Thanks for the help.

    ARB fridge monitor question.....

    Can you buy just an extra wireless transmitter (so I can monitor BOTH our ARB fridges) or do I have to buy another whole remote monitor kit just to get the wireless transmitter? I ask this because on their website literature description & in the video, it says 1 head unit can monitor 2 fridges...

    Thinking of a Tundra Question for Tundra owners.

    New 4Runner Model options for exploring

    We drove our brand new 2017 TRD Off-Road directly from the dealer, straight to the tire shop. Got $75 each for factory street tires. Went with the Cooper ST Maxx, LR "E". Yes, it is a LOT of tire for this vehicle. Do I regret it ? Not one bit. Drove through a wet sandy area that someone just got...

    Colorado Toyota re gear guru recommended installers.

    I would say you won't lose your highway function, just need to slow down some. In our 4.56'ed Power Wagon, I have found that 65 mph seems to be it's happy spot, empty or towing, it keeps rear diff at around 175*F. The Hemi & G56 will certainly do much more, but the rear diff heats up a LOT more...

    Arb fridge

    When we had our 50 qt ARB plugged into the inverter in back of our 2017 4Runner, it would shut off after a while. Kinda like a rear window defroster. Yes, there is 12v cig/style plug right next to it but the connection just did not seem tight enough. Eventually, I will do a hardwired ARB set up...

    How is everyone powering their portable fridges?

    We just bought a dedicated portable battery for our Fridge/s. The X-900 from Cabela's. Stupid expensive IMHO, even after the sale-coupon-discount. It will only be used with 1 fridge & we hope to get another battery next year. I wanted something that truly was portable (even though battery is 75...

    Vanilla Gorilla: 2017 Power Wagon build

    Nice truck. If I was to replace our 08' G-56 Power Wagon, it would be with a white one. Curious---does it have the dual alternators option ?

    Black Friday deals on fridge/freezer?

    Check out OK4WD. I got 2 fridges 50/82, free shipping x 2, free transit bag x 2, free mail in rebate/remote dual fridge monitor. I have not seen a better deal anywhere. I think it was in June though. Not sure if they will repeat that deal. Our 82 has been plugged in since the day we got it. No...
